Still waiting for a good sale on Doom but a recent shooter that I really enjoyed is "Wolfenstein: The New Order". It's quite fast paced and the weapons really feel great.
OxO4··on Speech Is 3x Faster Than Typing for English and Mandarin on Mobile Devices
According to Wikipedia, a "comfortable" speed for audiobooks is 150-160 wpm, whereas the "average professional typist" achieves 50-80 wpm [0]. So 2x seems to be fairly accurate for the average user. Real-time transcriptions in court rooms etc. are usually done with stenotype machines [1].

OxO4··on Turkish academics: Remain silent or risk all
Do you have any source for this? In my personal experience, most well educated people are not voting AKP.

OxO4··on Gmailify: The best of Gmail, without an gmail address
I do not seem to have the option to gmailify my address. Is the feature restricted to specific providers? If yes, are there any plans to support Office365 addresses?
OxO4··on Herbie: Automatically rewrites expressions to minimize floating point error

OxO4··on A look at how Macintosh accessories are prototyped and tested
Some nice insights but unfortunately some of the pictures are overexposed, presumably to get a "sciencey" look.

OxO4··on Open-sourcing Facebook Infer: Identify bugs before you ship
Sorry to hijack your comment but it sounds like you are one of the devs of Infer. I am working on static analysis as part of my PhD and I am going to be an intern at Facebook MPK this summer. Are you located at MPK as well? Any chance we could meet up for some coffee at some point?

OxO4··on My Adventures with “4K” 2160p and Linux
